The Green Membrane
A World-First Recyclable Membrane Made Entirely from Waste
Why does this matter?
There’s a global water crisis.
Global water demand is expected to increase by 55% by 2050
Millions of tonnes of plastic waste, including PVC, are dumped into landfills annually
Current water treatment methods contribute to environmental harm and are resource-intensive
But, what if the waste piling up in our landfills could help solve one of humanity’s greatest challenges?
This question sparked groundbreaking R&D with Edith Cowan University: Could waste PVC particles, destined for landfill, be transformed into high-performance, recyclable membranes?
What is a membrane?
A membrane is a thin, porous material that filters, separates, or purifies substances by allowing certain particles to pass through while blocking others.
Membranes are critical to industries worldwide, ensuring clean water, resource recovery, and efficient operations.
-
Membranes are at the heart of modern water purification systems. They are used to treat wastewater and remove contaminants, and are also critical in desalination plants, where they separate salt from seawater to produce clean, safe drinking water. Without membranes, many regions would not have access to reliable water sources.
-
In industries like mining and mineral processing, membranes are used to remove impurities, concentrate solutions, and recover valuable materials from waste streams. They play a key role in helping companies meet environmental standards while increasing the efficiency of resource recovery operations.
-
Membranes are found in life-saving medical equipment, particularly in dialysis machines that filter waste from the blood of people with kidney failure. They’re also used in a wide range of medical technologies where sterile, precise filtration is crucial to patient safety and health outcomes.
-
In food and drink production, membranes help ensure purity and consistency. They’re used to filter products like milk and juice, remove bacteria, concentrate flavours, and separate components like proteins and sugars — all without needing heat or chemicals that can affect taste or quality.
